1946 Map of Gregg

About this map

Agricultural development in the San Joaquin Valley is clearly visible in this survey of the landscape just after the war. The intersection of major transportation routes dominates the western portion of the map, where the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads cut across the terrain. Small rail-side settlements like Trigo, Irrigosa, and Gregg serve as focal points for the surrounding rural community. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Hildreth Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Little Dry Creek, which are supplemented by human-made infrastructure like the Reservoir near Trigo and various Well sites. Local educational and social life is anchored by the Sweet Flower Sch, while the connectivity of the era is represented by named thoroughfares such as the Madera and O'Neals Road and Pole Line Road.
